Happy October! Let’s start off the month with a costume guaranteed to please Who Framed Roger Rabbit fans. Thanks to COCO DESIGNS, we can all have our very own Jessica Rabbit experience. The luscious red sequined gown and purple suede gloves are COCO DESIGNS’ latest group gifts.

Add a nice pair of heels from Hilly Haalan’s group gift area to complete the outfit.

Next, we’ll need some dramatic eyeshadow, and glossy lipstick. Zibska’s marketplace eyeshadow gift is absolutely gorgeous, can be worn by both mesh and classic avatars, and is free.

Visit Livia to pickup the Just Reds lipstick gift. Simply join the store’s free group to get this along with several other wonderful gifts.

Finish off today’s look with another marketplace gift from Alli&Ali. The Jessica gift only comes in one shade, purple. Luckily for us, the hair is copy/mod which means a few tweaks in edit mode will create the exact color pictured above. Set the Hex color to fa1605, glow to 0.15, and check the Full Bright box to wash that purple right out of your hair.

Enjoy!

Bad Hair Day?

| HAIR |Hair Fair 2019 .No-Match.No_Penny – fatpack w/hairbases & hair/accessory HUDs (free)
| OUTFIT |Beyond.Laura Pink – 2 colors Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)
| SHOES |COCO Designs Slide Sandals – Beige Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)

Worry not, Hair Fair 2019 has plenty of stylish gifts to chase those tangles away! This year’s fair runs through September 1st, which gives even the busiest of avatars time to pop over and revel in a bit of silky goodness.

Since not many of the shopping sims I frequent are naturist friendly, I thought it might be wise to find some clothing to go along with the new coiffures.

| HAIR |Hair Fair 2019 .Alli&Ali.Carthage Hair – browns HUD w/resize (free)
| OUTFIT |Black Opium.Silvana Set – fatpack/HUD Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)
| SHOES |COCO Designs Slide Sandals – Beige Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)

On a recent visit to Scandalize, I explored the other stores sharing the sim. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that three of the stores’ groups are free to join, and offer past gifts. That’s a whole lot of free outfits just waiting to happen.

The Silvana Set consists of the 3/4 sleeve tee and stretch pants pictured above. The items are separates, so can easily mix and match with your existing inventory. Best of all, the set comes with a fabulous fatpack HUD that offers solid, ombre, and patterned options. Thanks Black Opium for such a versatile gift!

FYI: The Carthage hairstyle’s out-of-box color is this lovely platinum blonde which will be lost to you once you use the included browns HUD. If you’d like to keep the blonde in your inventory for wearing, simply copy the mesh and place it in a new folder safely away from the version you intend to use the color HUD with.

Here’s a look at the female Hair Fair 2019 gift from Alli & Ali.

Let’s wrap up this post with big hair! Mello & Moth’s midnight gift is bound to delight all fans of big, barely tamed hair. Midnight comes with fatpack and tint HUDs, materials options, boobs models, and four levels of glow.

Finishing off today’s looks are a wonderful pair of sandals from COCO Designs. These comfy yet stylish sandals are COCO’s newest addition to their group gift wall. Simply join COCO’s free group to immediately experience the joys of membership.

Until next time, shop it, shop it good!

| CHAIR|Imaginarium.M.Law.Eloisa Set – Garden Iron Chair (GG/free)

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a little rest and relaxation in a nice secluded sunny patch. Of course, we’re going to need a comfy piece of furniture and some relaxed clothing to make that happen. So, let’s get started.
First stop, Gimme Gacha’s Imaginarium event. Most of the designers at the event have set out a free gift for members of Gimme Gacha’s group. The group is free to join, so you’re bound to leave with a load of fun freebies. Our model’s hair, hair jewelry, eye makeup, slippers, and the large comfy chair can all be found at Imaginarium.
Pop over to Coco Design to pick up this cropped tank. It comes in two shades, black and grey, and three sizes. Alphas are also included for classic avatars.
Our last stop is Cremosas Store. There are over 40 gifts just waiting to jump into your inventory. The Boho Skirt #140 is sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh bodies. Of course, this skirt is easy enough for classic avatars to wear when paired with a lower body apha.
Until next time, shop happy!

Ruffles, Buttons & Bows

| DRESS|COCO DESIGNS .RuffleMiniDress – 2 colors Slink/Maitreya/Belleza (GG/free)
| SHOES|Cremosas Store .boot 71 – Slink/Maitreya/Belleza/Tonic (GG/free)

Ruffles, buttons, and bows oh my! Combine these two fantastic gifts from COCO DESIGNS and Cremosas Store to make an easy fast outfit from just two teleports. Both items are sized for mesh bodies. That said, it wouldn’t be that hard for classic avatars to pilfer a few alphas from their other items to make this outfit wearable.
Until tomorrow, shop happy!

One of These Days, These Boots…

| SHOES |Okinawa New Year Festival .Gabriel.Geta boots – for mesh feet (GG/free)

If you’ve got stomping on your mind, then you’d better run over to Gabriel’s booth at the Okinawa New Year’s Festival because you probably don’t have long to pick these babies up. The Geta boots are sized for Signature, Belleza, and Maitreya feet. Another pair of unrigged boots is included in the box allowing resizing which easily makes these boots a unisex item.

All of today’s accessories are group gifts at Rebellion. Not only is the group free to join, but the store also hosts 10 fast moving lucky boards.

Visit EscalateD’s lucky board area to pickup this fun hairstyle. You’ll need to join EscalateD’s group to play the lucky boards. Currently the group is free to join, but during non-free join periods the cost is 250 Lindens. If you’re a fan of bold hairstyles this is definitely a group with a slot in your list.
The last stop to complete this outfit is COCO DESIGNS. This classic scoop necked top is sized for mesh bodies. Simply join COCO’s free group and leave the store happy.

Here’s a closeup of the Geta boots. They are wonderfully detailed, and perfect for getting your stomp on. Shop happy!

| DRESS |Hilly Haalan .Valentine’s Love dress – TMP/Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)
| SHOE|COCO DESIGNS .ThighHigh boots – Red for Classic feet (GG/free)
Though there are still more red outfits that can be made from the offerings in Hilly Haalan & COCO DESIGNS’ gift areas, I’m going to end on a heart cutout ensemble perfect for Valentine’s Day.

These supple suede boots are an older style mesh coming in 3 sizes: Large, Medium, and Small with an alpha. Though made with classic avatars in mind, mesh bodied avatars that have a detailed alpha system can wear them too. Until next time, shop happy!

| DRESS|COCO DESIGNS .StretchTubeDress – BerryRed Slink/Maitreya/Belleza (GG/free)
| SHOE|COCO DESIGNS .RedGlitterShoes – for Classic & Mesh feet (GG/free)
Happy Sunday! Today I’m having fun mixing and matching red gifts from COCO DESIGNS‘ group gift wall. The sleek body hugging tube dress I featured yesterday is a perfect mesh for layering.
The addition of an over-sized sweater and glitter shoes transformed the dress into a perfect foundation layer for a stylishly casual outfit. FYI, though the sweater and dress are for mesh bodies, when combined into one outfit, classic avatars can easily wear alphas from their inventory to make this look work.

Here’s a closer look at the shoes. Yes, they are the spitting image of Dorothy’s ruby slippers. That alone makes them worth adding to your wardrobe. Until next time, shop happy!

The season of love is upon us! Currently there’s at least one Valentine’s Day hunt already underway, and many more are scheduled to start on February 1st. To celebrate the season, All Spiffed Up is going RED.
I thought it would be fun to visit two of my favorite stores: COCO DESIGNS and Hilly Haalan to see just how many red outfits I could create from their current group gifts. I’m up to 4, and still have lots more combos to make. So, get ready to revel in red. Shop happy!
